Description
Forest Adventure for Schools
Forest Adventure for Schools combines outdoor learning with practical activities in a woodland setting. For example, choose a half-day, full-day or multi-day format. Then plan bushcraft, team challenges or nature-based sessions around your students.
How does the school programme work?
Throughout the visit, the programme includes an educational aspect in each activity. At the same time, the team follows Leave No Trace principles, helping students appreciate the outdoor environment as they take part.
First, share the class size, age group and your learning goals. Next, discuss a suitable mix of activities and the time available. For instance, you can choose a bushcraft adventure, a mindfulness theme or a team challenge programme.

What is included?
Venue sourcing
Event planning
Food, beverages, transport and accommodation cost extra. However, we can help organise these through the chosen venue. Therefore, confirm the selected activities and any extras before your visit.
Overnight accommodation options
For a longer school programme, discuss these accommodation choices:
Rustic tipis: single-pole Norwegian canvas tipis for six or more people, with pallet beds, sleeping mats and interior lighting. Bring your own sleeping bag and pillow.
Tree tents: two-person or three-person tents in the trees, with sleeping mats and interior lighting.
Camping hammocks: a hammock and tarp sleep system with mosquito netting and a self-inflating mat.
Trekking tents: two-person or three-person tents.
Dining in the woods
The venue holds a licence for open-fire cooking. Optional menus include a BBQ platter, forest burgers, pizza, quesadillas and pasta. In addition, tea, coffee and minerals are also options to discuss.
Before choosing a menu, share dietary requirements and confirm what the quote includes. Consequently, dining remains a separate cost, so include it in the school’s event budget.
What can students explore?
The activities offer time away from electronic devices and opportunities to practise outdoor skills. In addition, shared challenges encourage students to recognise one another’s strengths and work together.
Connection with nature and appreciation of the outdoor environment
A shared experience and sense of achievement
Collaboration and group cohesion
Opportunities to practise leadership, decision-making and self-reliance
